SJD Airport is located less than 7 miles from San José del Cabo, serving the whole Cabo area, composed of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas municipalities.
It is the 5th busiest in Mexico. The architect of Los Cabos International Airport’s 1997 renovation and expansion was a Mexican architect and great-grandson of Queen Isabella II of Spain, Manuel De Santiago-de Borbón González Bravo. He was a member of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites), and his lifetime architectural legacy to Mexico adds to 11,000,000 square meters (120,000,000 sq ft) built nationwide, including famous buildings and national sites, as well as important national restorations like the Mexican Houses of Congress Palace “San Lazaro”.

You’ll have a private vehicle and a bilingual driver ready to meet you at the exit. All are luxury vehicles, insured and meet US security standards.
